Hi all! I have a simple question about using monit's program checks.

I plan to use program check, with it's exit code I can force monit to send
alert mail message, ok. But how to include into that message some output
produced by checking program?

I could modify program to write it's output in some file but how to tell
monit to use this file during message composing?

There is something description field in mail-format, is it suitable for
this purpose?

>From monit's docs
<https://mmonit.com/monit/documentation/monit.html#Message-format>:

The subject and body may contain $NAME variables, which are expanded by
Monit. Here is a list of variables that can be used when composing an alert
message

…

$DESCRIPTION The description of the error condition


Thanks in advance for your answers!
